.htaccess rewritten

    Hey Guys! Please, could you help me with my issue. I have a .htaccess file. There are some lines in it, which prohibit some robots to index the site. The problem is this – If I check the site using the crawler immediately after I re-save .htaccess – everything is fine. If some time passes, the crawler just ignores it and gives 200 ok. Example – I submit user-agent, e.g. Mozilla Firefox immediately after saving .htaccess. The site gives back 403 Forbidden (as it should). Several hours pass and no change occurs in .htaccess. I addressed the site with the same User Agent (which is not granted access to htaccess) – the site returned 200 ok. At the same time, if I updated cache on hosting – the site again gives back 403 forbidden, as it should for this robot. I have already exhausted – I can not figure out where the problem is. There is a suspicion that there is such a plugin in WP Duplicator, which once in a while somehow overwrites .htaccess (although physically there are no changes – that is, the content in .htaccess does not change, there are the same lines absolutely).

    Hey @trodly

    Thanks for the feedback! There are a few items in the FAQ that may provide a solution to this issue, this one may get you going.

    Duplicator only ever updates the .htaccess file at install time and not at no other time. So it’s possible your host might have some insight on this. If you would like to submit a support ticket for this issue we can have a closer look at your setup. Please provide a link to this forum thread when submitting the ticket.


    Hope this helps~
